Starting Over, Yet Again

Help me give my students books, storage, and visual aids needed to be successful.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Maurice's classroom raised $292

My Project

Unbeknownst to me, I've been sent back to 1st grade. Unfortunately, I no longer have any first grade materials. The books will be used to restock my classroom library. The pencil boxes and cardstock will be used to create and store centers for small group time and mini anchor charts. The anchor chart paper and markers will be used to create anchor charts and to keep track of data and behavior.

By providing these items, you will be helping to ensure these students have a productive, creative, and literacy rich classroom.

I have chosen these items because I feel they are the most crucial supplies needed to get the year started off right. I have seen how a variety of books to choose from and creative centers can have a positive impact on student learning and I would love to be able to provide that for the new class.
